The video, which was first posted on X (previously Twitter) by Indian Railways Officer Ananth Rupanagudi, displayed Mr. Kuboki San's incredible talent during the GLOBIZZ'24 event. The executive's compelling performance was underscored by Rupanagudi's caption, which described how he entertained MBA students with a Tamil song from the 1995 hit movie "Muthu." 

'Muth' popular in Japan

The movie has been famous in Japan for almost thirty years and continues to entertain people. Netizens flooded the comments sections and appreciated both Kuboki San as well as the movie. They raved about Rajinikanth endearing referring to him as 'Thalaivar.' The interesting part is that most of the comments were from the Japanese population. 

People commented on the cross-cultural conversation and enjoyed the healthy exchange of appreciation between the two countries. An Indian remarked that we have learned a lot from Japan, and was pleasantly surprised to see a Japanese singing in Tamil.
